I've attached a pic of a plant seen at the St. Louis zoo. What is it?

Welcome! to NGA

Its a Hosta. This time of year, most nurseries and big box stores carry them.

Hosta, I agree. The yellow with green could be Island Breeze, Rainforest Sunrise, Remember Me...or any number of similar yellow leaves with green edges. All Hosta are beautiful. Any good quality nursery/plant store should stock Hosta in your area.

@Rray Welcome! Howdy! Where in Texas are you? Hosta needs shade in Texas and also a chill period. Depends on your area how well they will do. Have a joy filled week!
One to take to heart....1 John 4 ..............................................Where there is smoke...there is fire...in most cases the smoke will kill you long before the fire consumes you. Beware of smoke screens! Freedom is not free and when those who have not paid the price or made the sacrifice...think that only they are right and entitled to speak...they bring us tryanny.
